Excellent location

Stayed one night with my partner and was a little nervous with mixed reviews on Tripadvisor. Overall happy with hotel and you must remember it is a three star hotel and doesn't pretend to be anything else. Free parking , friendly staff, decent rooms if a little tired, great location within short walking distance of all major sights, breakfast buffet style but you could eat enough to keep you going most of day. Kilkenny is a lovely city with great history however not the place for a quite few days. It is a party town with lots of live music in the many pubs and popular for hen and stag parties. The night we stayed the hotel was busy but thankfully no parties. Overall an honest family hotel that tries to be innovative , would check in advance of booking if they have a stag/ hen group and depending on answer you make your choice? Brendan DublinMore

My partner and I stayed here 3 nights in July through a deal we got...Perfect as near city centre..Room was very clean, bed linen spotless glad I did not need some of the reviews on here as i would been put off...Breakfast was perfect and nice surroundings.....Could not fault this hotel and hotel night bar staff so very friendly...We would stay again at this hotel For sure...Girls that clean the rooms were more than helpful we needed clean towels and more tea and sugar due to fault of our own and within minutes of speaking to the cleaner she was back with wat I requested and could not have been nicer...All in all a great hotel in Killkenny...

My room was broken into VIA the room window which leads into a courtyard. The manager, Michael [--] was no help in replying to any of my emails to date. The owner, Pius got involved and was absolutely no help at all. I would no recommend this hotel.

We had booked here for 3 nights but we would have left the same day only we were so tired after a long journey .If we had seen the room which we had to pay for on arrival we would not have stayed.Wooden floor in bedroom number50 which was really sticky and shower was so grotty we wouldn't dare get into it.The breakfast was like a cattle mart.Cooked food just opposite cereal ,toaster etc.and as there was a queue at each staff had difficulty getting through them.We had to ask for a table to be cleared to get sitting down and eventually we got cutlery etc.The eggs had the yolks all burst and I could not get someone to ask to get my ehg well done .We had lunch in the hotel and the waitress just lifted the milk off a table which people had not finished to give to us for our tea.In our opinion this hotel is ruining its business by having hen and stags stay and lack of staff when they have s full house.When people are giving their review thy should state their sge .Definitely not suitable for 70 year old with the noise from the pub next door and even though there is alift quite a few steps.

Room Tip: Don't know as the carpet in all the foyers was filthy and nearly every room we passed on our way out when leaving had loads of beer bottles etc.outside them.

My husband and I are just back from a wonderful 3 day stay at this hotel. We got a very warm welcome and were given a lovely spacious room and bathroom, both were very clean and well equipped. The free bottled water was a nice touch. The fan in our bedroom was making an annoying noise so rang reception and it was replaced straight away. great customer service. The location is ideal, perfect for getting around Kilkenny on foot. The hotel bars are cosy and welcoming with live music most nights. The breakfast was nice, plenty of choice. Maybe if I had one fault, it would be to get a better quality porridge, it was not great. We got a great 3 day groupon deal but would not hesitate to stay here again when in Kilkenny, deal or no deal.
